With someone else on hand to open doors, wash sheets, and wake you up in the morning, hotels have finally rendered the arms useless, as they were always intended to be. Give your limbs a well-deserved rest with today's Groupon: for $74, you get a one-night stay in a deluxe room and a complimentary hot breakfast buffet at The Mount Vernon Hotel on West Franklin Street (up to a $149 value). Rooms can be either two queen beds or one king bed.

Established in 1907, the historic hotel is a pleasant stroll away from cultural attractions, including the Inner Harbor, Convention Center, and Walters Art Museum. Each room is equipped with luxurious amenities, from high-speed wireless Internet access to granite-countered vanities and curved shower rods. Listen to the dancing ivories on the baby grand piano in the lobby, feast on a complimentary breakfast buffet, and take advantage of the hotel's 24-hour business center and Ultimate Fighting ring.

Home to a bevy of cultural attractions, touristy sites, theaters, and eateries, Baltimore is bustling with extracurricular activities and entertainment options. Observe water dwellers at the National Aquarium, take in a show at the Hippodrome Theatre, or learn the difference between day and night at the Maryland Science Center. This Groupon is redeemable any night during the upcoming three months except for the following blackout dates: March 4–9, 12–18, 30, 31; April 1, 2, 12–24; May 2–9. Call ahead to book your room.
